Introducing
Find Your Way fabrics
I am so excited to be sharing my Find Your Way fabrics! I created this line with Benartex, and it’s available in shops starting in December 2024. Ask your local shop to carry it! See a list of shops carrying Find Your Way here.
About the Fabric
Hiking is a lot like quilting: there are many paths you can take, both are about the journey and not just the destination, and you can soak up so much beauty along the way. As this fabric collection evolved, I realized that I was finding my way - creating modern-looking prints and a palette that inspired me, with subtle nods to a love for outdoor activities. In these fabrics, I see hiking routes - not all of them straight - and trail markers to guide the way. In the colors, she sees deep teal mountain lakes, glorious sunset hues, and the grays of boulders along the mountain path.

Trail Map
Love flying geese? This quilt is for you! Each block features 7 different sizes of flying geese, ranging from dark teal to light. The blocks alternate backgrounds for a modern feel. I use the Sew Very Smooth Ideal Seam Guide to make 4-at-a-time flying geese units! The pattern includes two quilt sizes: 58” x 62-1/2” and 66” x 80”.

Postcard Views
This trio of quilts is inspired by some of the beautiful scenery I’ve seen on our family’s outdoor adventures. Each quilts measures 20” x 24” and is made using raw-edge fusible applique.
The quilts are (from top): Moonlight Mountains, Sunset Dunes, and River Gorge.

Follow the Sun
This fun quilt combines my Strippy Improv technique (to create the sunshine “stripes” with reverse applique to make a cheery sun design. Such a fun kid’s quilt or wall hanging! I added Chenille-It along the sun edges for a little textural sparkle. The quilt measures 40” square.

Quadrangles
This geometric quilt uses all 14 prints from the collection. The blocks are easy to sew - two sets of frames around a center rectangle - and the result is a colorful, scrappy effect! The quilt measures 64” x 72”.
